Grayscaleโs Dogecoin (GDOG) and XRP (GXRP) ETFs will begin trading on NYSE Arca, offering spot exposure to each asset.The launches follow rising demand for altcoin ETFs, with Bitwise and Franklin Templeton also expanding into DOGE, XRP and Solana products.
Grayscaleโs two new crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will go live on NYSE Arca on Monday, offering U.S. investors simplified access toย DOGEย and XRP for the first time through regulated public markets. The Grayscale Dogecoin Trust ETF (GDOG) and Grayscale XRP Trust ETF (GXRP) are each structured as spot ETPs that hold their respective underlying assets.
Dogecoin, once viewed mainly as a joke cryptocurrency, has become one of the most actively traded digital assets by volume. Meanwhile, the launch of GXRP comes as the XRP Ledger (XRPL), a blockchain tailored for cross-border payments, nears its fourteenth year. The ledger has processed over 4 billion transactions since its inception. GXRP and GDOG were initially available as private placements before going public on NYSE Arca. Their debut adds to Grayscaleโs growing suite of crypto-related investment products, which now span over 40 offerings. Grayscaleโs launches follow a wave of new altcoin ETFs. Franklin Templeton is expected to launch its own Dogecoin ETF next week, while Bitwiseโs XRP ETF went live earlier this week. Bitwiseโs Solana ETF (BSOL), which debuted earlier this year, has already attracted over $400 million in inflows, reflecting growing institutional interest in non-Bitcoin crypto assets. $XRP $DOGE
Hobbyist Miner Beats "1 in 180 Million Odds" to Win $265K Bitcoin Block Using Just One Old ASIC
The winning miner controls just 0.0000007% of Bitcoinโs total network hashpower, which recently hit a record 855.7 exahashes per second.
What to know:
A lone Bitcoin miner with only 6 terahashes per second of hashpower mined a full BTC block, earning 3.146 BTC plus fees worth nearly $265,000. The miner had just a one in 180 million chance of solving a block on any given day, controlling only 0.0000007% of Bitcoin's total network hashpower. This event marks one of the luckiest solo-mined blocks in recent memory, highlighting the rarity of such occurrences as Bitcoin's hashrate continues to climb.
A lone Bitcoin miner running roughly 6 terahashes per second of hashpower โ an amount so small it barely registers on the network โ mined a full BTC block on Friday, earning 3.146 BTC plus fees worth nearly $265,000. The feat was confirmed by Solo CK pool creator Con Kolivas, who noted the miner had โonly a one in 180 million chanceโ of solving a block on any given day. #Binance
Cardano Temporarily Splits Into Two Chains After Attacker Uses AI-Generated Script to Exploit a Known Bug
The divergence emerged when newer nodes accepted a malformed transaction that older nodes rejected.
A malformed transaction pushed Cardano into a brief chain split on Saturday, as older and newer node versions validated transaction data submitted to the network differently. The mismatch caused some block producers to follow a โpoisonedโ chain while others stayed on the normal one, prompting an emergency patch and network-wide upgrade instructions.
The incident โ which has since been traced to a wallet belonging to a former testnet participant โ is being investigated as a potential cyberattack. Cardano ecosystem governance body Intersectย said in a post-mortem reportย that the divergence emerged when newer nodes accepted a malformed transaction that older nodes rejected. The inconsistency exploited a bug in an underlying software library that validation logic failed to trap. Once propagated, block producers began building on different branches of the chain, creating what the group called a โpoisonedโ ledger and a parallel โhealthyโ chain. $ADA
Crypto News of the Day: Bitcoin ETFs Are Filling With โDumb Money,โ Deeper Crash Ahead?
Alliance DAO co-founder QwQiaoย reiteratedย his stark outlook on X (Twitter), that the next crypto bear market will be worse than most people expect. In the original post, he argued that a large wave of inexperienced buyers has entered the market in 2025, creating the conditions for a severe flush.
โโฆdumb money who know nothing about crypto buying DATs and ETFs,โย wroteย QwQiao. ย
According to QwQiao, the market may require another 50% drawdown as these buyers sell off their holdings quickly, probably at a loss, usually due to panic or pressure. Only after this happens, the Alliance DAO executive says, can a solid long-term foundation form andย the Supercycle resume its course. When QwQiao made these remarks, the Bitcoin price was trading at $111,756. Trading for $83,712 as of this writing, the pioneer crypto has already shed 25% of QwQiaoโs prediction. A full 50% drawdown from $111,756 would see the Bitcoin price go as low as $56,068. Placeholderโs Chris Burniske echoed the sentiment, warning that theย sell-side pressure from DAT (digital asset treasuries) investorsย is only just beginning.
โThe era of DAT selling has only begun. Just as we went up, so too will we go down,โ heย wrote, suggesting that structural flows, not sentiment, will dictate the next phase of the cycle.
Serious Fraud Office arrests two men over suspected ยฃ20m crypto fraud
The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has arrested two men as it launched an investigation into a suspected ยฃ20m cryptocurrency fraud. The law enforcement agencyย raided two sites in West Yorkshire and Londonย as it appealed for information about $28m (ยฃ21.4m) invested into a cryptocurrency scheme called Basis Markets. Two men, one in his 30s and another in his 40s, were arrested on suspicion of multiple fraud and money-laundering offences, the agency said. Basis Markets, which the SFO described as a โsuspected fraudulent schemeโ and is not a company, is said to have raised millions of pounds via two public fundraisers in November and December 2021, stating it would use the cash to create a โcrypto hedge fundโ.
Six months after the fundraisings in June 2022, investors are alleged to have been informed that proposed new US regulations were preventing the project from proceeding as planned. The SFOโs investigation is thought to be focusing on this announcement as well as what became of the investorsโ money. Nick Ephgrave, the director of the SFO, said: โWith our expanding crypto currency capability and growing expertise in this area, we are determined to pursue anyone who would seek to use cryptocurrency to defraud investors. โTodayโs action is an important step in our investigation, and weโre urging anyone with information to come forward and support our inquiries.โ The agency said the investigation was the first major cryptocurrency case it had announced. The law enforcement bodyย secured additional fundsย to invest in its crypto capabilities earlier this year. In June, the SFO said it had been granted more than ยฃ8m of extra funding over the next three years that would strengthen its โability to recover criminal assets, including crypto assets, wherever they may beโ. #Binance
